Of course, we always want more...
I'm set up for all blocking features. Only contacts will ring. All three blacklists I have set to get the "blocked" message. I'm still thinking about anonymous... I had them set to voicemail, but then I saw that the "Call Blocked Message" transmitted to anons is NOT THE SAME as the "Call Blocked Message" given to recognized blacklisted numbers [AHEM to reveal the fact that they are different you should call them by: different names] (see http://www.ooma.com/forums/viewtopic.ph ... 0d#p137389).

At least "unknowns" (numbers neither blacklisted nor whitelisted) and also my whitelisted contacts when I am not home, and possibly anons if I let them go to VM, will get the SAME voicemail greeting. I feel very strongly that that is not ideal and can be improved upon. What I want is to be able to record two greetings for voicemail, and use the optional second greeting for any non-whitelisted callers. On the Call Blocking Preferences page this would appear as an additional option adjacent to "Send to Voicemail": "Send to Voicemail (Alternate Greeting)".
